1980 Honda Z50 ?

By RazBarlow, Posted January 27, 2006

Just got a 1980 Z50 given to me. It needs alot of help . It is missing the seat,ignition coil,all the plastic,gas cap and probably some other little stuff. I am just wondering if it is worth fixing up or not ?

It still turns over,not alot of compression but at least it is not stuck.

Thanks,

Raz

Hell ya!!

You could fix it up with newer made parts, and use it as a pitbike or restore it and make alot of money! Depends what shape its in!

There is also a bracket on the left side below the seat , it kinda looks like a battery bracket but I think it might be the bracket to hold the oval numberplate . Am I correct ?

Thanks,

Raz

Yes, that bracket is for the number plate.

The coil mounts up under the seat, i believe....thru the frame.....atleast my 81' does

The coil mounts to the frame under the seat with two nuts. The Z50r's never had a battery. The coil connects at two places, to the wire coming out of the engine, and to the spark plug. The kill switch connects to the ground and the to the wire coming out of the engine. That's pretty much everything you need to know about the wiring for your bike. I have a lot of parts but the only thing I have that you need is the gas cap. If you need any guidance, PM me and I'll help. If you want a Hondafactory manual, download it from here and then print it out.

Thanks so much for the download site . I took the flywheel off tonight, filed the points, and installed the CT70 coil . I haven't cleaned the carb yet but I did shoot some starting flid down the sparkplug hole, and the dang thing fired right up !

I have an 07 CRF70 that I have done the filter pod modificaiton by cutting the extension tube off and I have drilled a couple of holes in the end of the exaust per some instructions on a thread here at TT.
I have recently had some problems getting the bike to idle consistently. I am wondering if I should try and rejet the bike at all or get a needle from an older carb that is adjustable. I do have a unifilter that I can put in as well with the stock pod that I cut.
It is not that the bike wont run or start, it just seems to only idle if I turn it up significantly but as soon as I turn it down even 1/8 of a turn it dies. But the idle that I set to keep it running well is too fast as the bike will move forward if in gear and no throttle is applied.
Any suggestions? Jetting, needle, air screw change with an older carb?
Thanks.

hello guys I'm like really new to this, like extremely new but I was going to buy xr-70r from a friend and drop a Lifan 125cc engine in it (here's the link: http://tboltusa.com/store/lifan-125cc-enginebrsale-price-p-1811.html ). Now the site says its a 4preed trans with normal gear set up (1-n-2-3-4), and manual front clutch, I'm wondering if I need to buy the clutch lever, perch, and cable then connect it all. Then secondly, what pip should I be looking for I'm not sure if the header would have to be a different style or what exactly.... please be patient with me I'm doing the best I can to learn... thanks

Hey everyone. Darn glad to have found this forum!
Just bought my son a 2009 CFR70 (first bike - 8 years old) and the first thing I'm doing is scrapping the factory air box for a UNI pod filter.
I'm looking for advice on how I can open up/modify the factory exhaust for more performance. I heard about removing the screen and drilling some holes but have not found those posts. Any specific advice would be greatly appreciated. (Found only a couple performance aftermarket pipes that were very pricey.)

I'm thinking after the air filter change and pipe opening the main jet size may need to be increased. It's a stock 13mm Keihin carb. What size is recommended? Haven't looked at the stock size yet.

I assume the needle is adjustable on the slide (but don't know if this would do any good or be necessary anyway) and hope there is an air mixture screw somewhere because it seems the carb could use a bit of adjustment now. Although next to the idle screw it looks like a brass cap or plug rather than a screw. (See photo attached.)

Hello all, reaching out to you today to get some help with a small project I am trying to do.

I just bought a 2006 CRF50 for my 3 year old and would like to rig it up with a wireless remote kill switch for those just in case moments. I have the throttle speed screw installed and will limit it that way also but want a back up until she is proficient and I feel confident.

Since this bike does not have electric start there is no battery. I was wondering if any one has or knows how to rig up a wireless car alarm system to work as a remote kill switch. I know I will need a 12 Volt battery on the bike which I can get. I know there is a product from 3Built that does this but the range is only 250 feet and some say it is even less than that. I was thinking of a car system since the range is usually around 1,000 feet which is overkill but I prefer overkill when it comes to this topic,
